This is probably the best bending tutorial I’ve seen. Nice work!!
Wow, thanks!
@BeAMetalFabricator damn I thought your abbreviated channel name meant Bad Ass Mother F er...lol great job
gave me inspiration to tackle my pinch welds

@@johnSR32 its petty simple man you can do it!
Well done. No goofy rambling, no stupid music, just great instruction. Excellent.
Hey thank you I appreciate that!🙏
Like he said. No stupid music! Nothing ruins a good video with craftsmen that want to be musicians!@@BeAMetalFabricator
I could not agree more. I listen to Pandora almost 12 hours a day, but nothing irritates me more than an instructional video that tries to be a music video. BAMF: Excellent workmanship and superb instruction!
I like rambling and goofy music 😂🤣🤔😜
yeah. i been working on not being that way. its a challenge at times tho
i am speechless. this is a level of workmanship i didnt even know was possible to achieve. beautiful work
haha what a complement man thank you!
lol
The only thing I would even think to add to this tutorial is explaining corrosion protection when the fender brace is welded back in. Weld through primer is always a nice bit of added insurance.
Great work! 👍🏻
You are right that will need to be coated. But coating it with por 15 would have delayed my video another day so I will spray some rust preventative in the gap between the brace and the panel I'll put that process in the video next time. Thanks for the tip
👏 You could’ve probably given this guy an avocado seed and 3 tooth picks and he would of still did that fender. PLEASE KEEP the videos coming!! Love this channel!
Haha Thanks Gabe!
Great job
@@scottsprague9974 Thanks bro!
Genius!!!….No fancy $30,000 tools and equipment. Just simple tools most DIY’ers realistically have around their garage…Sir, you just got yourself a Subscriber!…👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the sub bro! I really appreciate it!! Glad you liked the video
Just $30k of Labor, LOL.
tig welder tho...
@@archlab007 skills that pay the bills my friend. It costs what it costs.
@@DeusTex-Mex Mig works too. Some things are very inexpensive. I'll try to get a really affordable one and test it out.
It's really good to see someone who knows what they are doing.
My hobby car was worked on by a body man who knew how to lead.
It was good to see thanks.
Thanks bro! Much appreciated!
I've been in the trade over 30 years .I love seeing it done right very nice work!
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
Brother the level of skill on this little repair is unbelievable. Very impressive. All you young fabricators and pannel beaters learn from this guy
❤....that ,,INK Marker...very fine..eh...bigger be easier...right..??
exactly!
Incredible work. You made this look easy. The mark of a true craftsman 😎
Thank you very much!
the way you do those bends makes it look so easy and sort of disguises the tremendous feel you have for metal...you got the touch man
Hell yeah dude Thank you!!!!!! I love this shiz
This is the first time I've seen the detailed steps needed to make a patch. Great work, sir. Thank you for making the video.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Nicely done Tubal! In the appraisal world, I often come across subpar patchwork. You've done a perfect job on this repair. The next person to inspect the truck won't have any idea that it has been repaired. I'll be following your videos as well as your business.
My Jaguar XJS only comprised subpar patchwork so I ended up replacing everything below knee height.
I’m brand new to auto body, you make this look so easy! If my patches turn out half as good as yours I’ll be thrilled.
Thanks man! keep at it! you get better and better every time you do it, and if not, you will at the least learn something every time. I know I do.
Love the way this guy gets straight down to it, no endless unneccary waffle - lovely work.
Thanks Man I appreciate the feedback!
Exactly what should be done to fix this type of repair. Nice to see such great skills and ability to explain exactly what is going on with the repair and fabrication. Thanks!😊
Incredible work. When you explained what you were going to do, I thought, “PFFFFFT - okay…” then you went to work and blew my mind. Very impressive
😂😂😂 that's awesome dude! 🙏💯
Absolute artistry!
I’ve often wondered how true panel beaters (a rare skill today with most shops just slinging bondo) get the patching and weld to look so flawless.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man I appreciate the complement.
Maybe you should look up modern I-Car repair procedures- shops aren't "just slinging bondo" if they want to pass re-inspection.
@@actually5004Sadly most of the work I’ve seen is repair shops who are working to insurance companies who place pressure to work down to a price rather than up to a quality.
While I accept the level of repair in this video isn’t required for a typical fender bender, my experience (in Australia) is that it’s the insurer who signs off on repairs and it’s typically a risk management approach of “near enough is good enough”.
Interesting method of making the pattern with the the tape. I wouldn’t have thought of that.
You make a good video. No stupid music and you explain what you’re doing in a simple easy to understand way. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the complement and the view brother
Excellent way of saying what you are thinking and doing . Some videos have no narration and they drive me crazy. Thank you
I love the tape patterns. Personally I like 1/2" or 3/4" fiberglass tape as the base and then packing tape to hold it all together. After peeling it off I line the adhesive side with more packing tape. The fiberglass gives the pattern a shape memory which really helps in panel shaping and then it's reversible.
Yes I love that! I learned that technique from Wray at pro shaper with the fiberglass tape. I use it when I am shaping metal. I was just basically making bends on this fender so I used masking tape. Thanks for watching! And for the comment!
I was proud of my panels. Though i could still see a tiny line where i didn't get it blended as well as I should have.
Your panel almost disappeared into the original. Well done my man! Thank you for the video
Thanks for the kind words and watching my video!
Always great to see a professional at work.
Excellent work. I am new to anything automotive, but I can see myself taking the time and thoughtfulness that you gave to this particular repair. Obviously many years of hands on experience has brought you to this level. I can only hope to be half as good.
Hey man thank you! glad you liked the video!
Watched this last night and I am simply in awe of your skills! When you were done, there was no need for body filler of any kind. I wish I had the skills to do this for my cab corners project coming up. Subscribed!
thanks for the compliment and the sub bro! takes some practice and patients but anyone can learn these skills
@@BeAMetalFabricator Practice and patience, yes, but some measure of inherent skills probably plays a part here too! At almost 68 years old, I'm not sure there is enough time for me to master this technique as you have. Thanks for the video and keep 'em coming!
The hero in all this was the 4x4 piece of scrap metal!! Well done!!! It reaffirms my decision to take my MGB GT to a professional!
Wow. I'd never have thought a finish like that was possible. Fantastic work
Glad you liked it!
bro, that patch you made is awesome. you broke that down so well, you got me believing I can make a patch panel for my 280zxt fenders. thanks for the great vid and great tips.
Right on man! You can make the patch just take your time and get the panel as close to the curves as possible!
You are so fast and accurate on your work. Excellent. Can tell you been doing this for many years.
Thank you I have been doing it for some time now
Wow. Very impressive work. The patch looks fantastic.
Nice work. No goofy music or no unnecessary comments. Great stuff. Thank you
Thanks G. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
Very impressive, improvised and effective bending tools. I need to make a couple of patch panels for an old Ford truck and your video has inspired me to just get started. Thank you.
Awesome bro! Glad I can help
You sir are a master of panel replacement. Eyeballing those curves is impressive.
Many thanks my friend!!
I have a 67 firebird in the family that needs some love. Tutorials such as these are exactly what I’m in search for these days. Happy to say now I’m a new subscriber and look forward to more bodywork videos like these in the future.
Thanks dude! let me know if you need help with something specific and maybe I can make a video to help you solve that problem. Thanks for the sub man!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching someone skilled, perform miracles on metal. Thank you for sharing.
This dude is a damn wizard. That was sorcery. That patch turned out looking like it had always been there straight from the factory. Amazing.
Thanks for the complement Bud!
Absolutely incredible metal work… you are truly an artist
Thank you bro!
Now that all makes sense to me. Straight and to the point. Thanks for sharing your skill with the rest of us.
Absolutely glad you got some value out of it!
That turned out beautiful. You are certainly a metal artist. Great job.
Thank you very much!
We got our first TIG when I was senior in high school (1972). Until then only gas and arc. What a dream that was. Nice soft welds. We plannished all the welds first, then ground.
I love it!
very impressed with the simple way that you made the template for the curves saves a lot of measuring a lot quicker and accurate too 👍
A pleasure to watch! Thanks for taking the time to post it.
Wow, that was so well done without an expensive bending machine, bead roller etc. Well done and I really appreciate that there was no innate waffling.
Excellent work and excellent instruction. I'm glad the algorithm suggested your channel!
Thanks bro! Glad I can help!
Just a master craftsman making it look so easy. Thank you!
It's so nice to see professionals doing a real job. Greetings from Norway !
Thank you very much!
Fantastic workmanship! I really enjoy your videos keep them coming ! Nicely done!
Thanks Paul! 🙏💯
Absolutely amazing work! You're truly a master of your craft. One of the best videos I've seen in many years!
Thanks man!
Great quality work! Thanks for the knowledge sharing. I've got a lot of patch work to do around the Front and rear window channel and the lower fenders like this on my 66 el camino. This helps a LOT !! Thanks..
Glad I can help! Thanks for checking out my video!
Great work! I love seeing people use their skills.
Always satisfying to see a job done properly. Cheers
Thank you
Great video! 🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀😎☮️
I learned heaps in that one video.
Thanks heaps for all your efforts,. You can not imagine how many people around the World have had an uplift in confidence after seeing you do a replacement section in a car panel.
Please keep up the great work☮️🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎
thank you bro, that means a lot to me! I hope I can inspire people to give it a try
You make it look so easy to do. Amazing job. 😀 I have seen other patch jobs were they use a piece of paper to draw the outlines etc. I guess there is more than one way to do the job.
yes always more ways to do something! but I just do what I know has worked for me in the past
Best patch work I have seen! One tip you might consider,they sell Quart cans of cold galvanizing[97%zinc powder in clear epoxy] brush both sides of inner panels then weld together.the product dries quickly and is very rust resistant.
Great tip!
I am gonna try this patch procedure on a 1942 Farmall Tractor, there are a couple spots I want to patch and this may be the best I have seen yet. Thank you.
Right on man try it out of you have any questions you know where to find me.
the part I want to patch has a hole in it for the exhaust so I have to figure out the diameter of the hole thats needed before I cut the bad metal out. @@BeAMetalFabricator
Yeah I would try to get as much information from that panel as possible before you cut anything out.
wow, just beautiful. Even a stamping machine can't make it this perfect
Good job. At first, it looked like the patch panel was a bit too big ....... but you nailed it perfectly. I liked the way the video moved right along. Some folks seem to think the sound of their voice is a little too interesting. Stretching things out, as some do, gets tiring. You hit it perfectly. Great post and fun to watch.
Awesome! I'm glad you liked it! I try to get to the point the best I can. thanks for watching!
Absolutely amazing. It's so great to see an expert at work.
Thank you very much!
This is the neatest patch I have ever seen done. A craftsman at work.🚗
Thank you I appreciate that big time!
always nice to see it done the proper way not the fastest, Coxy
I am impressed by your workmanship and I learned a lot. Thank you.
Glad you got value from it my friend!
Damn dude, been bumping metal for decades and gottta say that is outstanding. Enjoy your youth!
Hahaha Yo thanks man!
New subscriber, great video. No annoying music, just fantastic instructions. Thank you
Thanks for the sub!🙏💯💯💯
I retired about 17 yrs ago and it's nice to see hammer and dolly work. It used to be the norm but now its all Bondo . Great job.
Thanks 👍
Great video and very good demonstration of the techniques used. Simple and to the point. 👌
Thank you for the compliment!
Another great video Bruce , found it interesting when you used the lenght of the hose to confirm where the tree roots are located , great job
I think you commented on the wrong video my friend 😂
Yes I did
Excellent job. Love the work. The black marker trick is new to me. Great stuff.
Right on man. Thanks for watching!
That was an interesting way of doing the repair. I'll keep that technique in mind for later.
In the days where bog is used extensively it's great to see a tradesman do it right. Great work, loved the video.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing. Excellent craftsmanship as always.
Thank you, man I appreciate you watching and commenting! I see you😎👉
Well impressed, simple tutorial with no woffle, EXCELLENT repair. Hats off to u Sir..
Thanks and thank you for watching
Great to watch and learn from a true professional.
I appreciate that!
Brilliant, the use of the template to transfer the bend measurements to the flat metal was a light bulb moment for me. 👍
Right on man glad I can help!
Perfection at its best - keep up the good work. All the best from across the pond.
Thank you brother!
You have a good eye for detail. Can't wait to try that on my old Toyota
When doing rust work, it's very important to grind only the weld with a hard stone, grinding minimally on the original panel. A final light blend with a 60 grit corps disc is the only touching of the original panel that should ever take place. Then dolly the work.
Very clean repair !
quality workmanship man applause to you !
I appreciate that my friend!
That came out perfect! You have a lot of skill and knowledge! Thanks
Appreciate you man! Thanks for watching!💯💯💯
You're so good at this. What a joy to watch
thank you my friend that means a lot
Like the format of the vid. Clear Concise and to the point. LUV the masking tape templating. I've used that method for yrs. and its the fastest most accurate way to make patterns. awsum.
The tape template works wonders you can get quite complex with these patterns depending on the panel. thanks for watching!
Beautiful work, my brother.
thanks!
Ive been doing this stuff for 40 years. I just learned something. Well done. I thought I was the only person who used a spoon as a slapper anymore. :)
Right on man! Glad you liked the video!
I just happend onto your video, Perfect patch panel bro. I will be following along to learn more awesome ways to metal working.
Thanks bro! and thanks for being a subscriber! means a lot!
Proof that the job done correctly adds quality, bet it took less time fabricating that patch versus shaping layers of bondo. Totaly inspired!!
Thanks man that means a lot!
Tubal, that's beautiful work.... Thanks
Thanks for watching man!
Nice clean repair!
Great sheetmetal work
Excelente ver trabajos tan bien ejecutados, de verdad que es un gusto ver personas tan habilidosas en su trabajo como usted, muchas felicitaciones!
Очень понравился способ выявления не ровной плоскости в районе сварного шва при помощи маркера))) лайк мастеру!
Wow you are a real craftsman love this
Your channel just popped up on my feed. Great work and great video. You were thorough and quick to the point. You have a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your artistry and craftsmanship.
Thanks for the Sub bro!
You are a metal artist! Great workmanship..
Thank you!
Beautiful work
Thanks for making straightforward videos with helpful information and techniques. I appreciate rhat you don't use obnoxiously loud/terrible music for intros, transitions, etc.
Glad you like the videos dude. That you for watching them!
One of the best things anyone taught me, in 40 years of car restorarion was when an old guy turned me on to tig welding silicon bronze for patch panels. It uses much less heat and it can be shaved effortlessly with a vixen file. Heat is the enemy. Less welding and grinding heat make a more consistent repair. But a repair like this gets it done perfectly.
Thanks man and yes that is the great thing about Silicon Bronze
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge
Amazing work, mate 👍.
Great work with brief well intended commentary !
Wish I could learn from someone like you man. Great job!
I appreciate that! I might be doing in shop classes soon ... Keep an eye out in my videos for dates
@@BeAMetalFabricator nice !
